Why because you don't like it?
You have the right to your own WRONG opinion!

Adamgreer- I was just adding on to everyone elses sarcasm about how shows that got bad reviews are doing well...chill.

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&. "Jayne just sat there while Gina flailed around the stage like an idiot."

I am really astounded to see Bye Bye Birdie, which was panned by the critics, get a near sell out, but the critically acclaimed Finian's Rainbow is 3/4 full, what is going on?

Finian's Rainbow is playing in a bigger house (though I'm not sure how much bigger) than Bye Bye Birdie, plus there's less name recognition both with the show itself and its cast.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

FYI- Finian's Rainbow actually sold nearly 2,500 more tickets than Bye Bye Birdie... just at a much lower average price.
